I mantain a couple of #Android applications both on @fdroidorg and #google #playstore . Now Play Store asks me a document (personal ID card) to verify my account, otherwise it will be closed in October.
I don’t feel I should disclose #personaldata to a giant like Google, so I’m considering migrating my users to #F-Droid. How should I do it? There's already other people doing this? There's any material (e.g. a webpage) to point my users at that explains why and how they should install #fdroid and reinstall my apps from there?

I'd suggest you to prepare for #reproducibleBuilds – so F-Droid (and/or #IzzyOnDroid) would ship the APKs signed by you, allowing for a rather seamless switch. If you give me a link to your "forge repos" (Codeberg, GitLab, GitHub) of the relevant apps, I could take a quick look – and might be able to help out a bit (as much as time permits). Even if it is just "sorting things out" and "getting you started".
